FIND THE PERFECT FRAME
FOR YOUR FACE & PERSONALITY.
SPECTACLES FOR ALL SHAPES & SIZES
HOW TO PICK GLASSES FOR YOUR FACE SHAPE: The truth about face shapes is that almost no one is a perfect heart, circle, square, or any other narrowly defined category. Most faces are a combination of a few different shapes: Rounded chins and tall foreheads, angular features, tapered jaws, and so on.
Trying to pick just one stock image out of a lineup can feel impossible. What you should do is aim to find the shape that looks the most like yours.
Even if your chin is a little more pointed than the “typical” oval, or if your forehead is a little wider than the “usual” inverted triangle, these are just guidelines to help determine how to balance and complement your features.
Your frame choice should enhance your most attractive features, and not fade you out.
FRAME SIZE & PRESCRIPTION PLAY A ROLE
SIZING YOUR FRAME: To ensure that you maximise your optical requirements, your choice in frame is imperative.
Always try selecting a frame where your pupils are centred & the temples long enough to fit behind (not above) your ears. Nose bridge size is important to prevent your glasses from fitting too high or too low - should fit flush and snug. Some frame features are adjustable. Temple, nose bridge & lens sizes are indicated on the frame.
CONSIDER YOUR PRESCRIPTION: Avoid a frame which fits too high or too low. You should be able to look through your lenses, and not over or underneath them.
Should you require more advanced lenses like bifocal or multifocal, more attention to detail on the frame selection is required to meet certain lens specifications. Far and short-sighted lenses require specific detail to frame choices too.

SHORT GUIDELINES FOR YOUR FACIAL SHAPE
The OVAL face – don’t select a frame wider than your widest facial contour, try and match your brow line.
The ROUND face – choose an angular or square frame, slightly wider than your face.
The HEART-SHAPED face – look for more angular frames with strong vertical lines.
The SQUARE face – frames which are slightly upswept, and slightly wider than the jawline, work best.
The OBLONG face – creates a shorter illusion by selecting a deeper, rimless at the bottom frame that follows the brow line.
